We recommend homeowners review their assessment annually, particularly in a triennial reassessment year, to ensure they do not pay more than their fair share in property taxes. Successfully appealing in a reassessment year may provide 3 years of savings on future property tax bills. If you would like a free analysis of your Hyde Park Township home, in comparison to similar properties, we would be happy to conduct a “no obligation” analysis and provide you with a free estimate of how much we believe we could help you save with an appeal.

The first step is to send us your property address and contact information. We will then conduct an initial analysis, running your property through our proprietary algorithm to search for the strongest comparable properties. Experience and expertise go a long way towards identifying the best comparable properties, which in turn can make a big difference in the amount of success you have with your appeal. Once we have completed our analysis we will reach out to you and provide our professional opinion on your assessment for free, with no obligation on your part to hire us. Of course, if at that point you would like our assistance with an appeal we would be happy to help you. Contact us by the January 21st deadline for your free estimate.

Board of Review Opens Group 1 for 2021 Appeals

The Cook County Board of Review has opened 2021 property tax appeals for the first group. The Board’s deadline to appeal your 2021 assessed value is January 04, 2022. Below are the townships that are currently open in Group 1:

  • Norwood Park
  • Oak Park
  • River Forest
  • Riverside

Assessments can be appealed every year, regardless of when a township was reassessed. If you missed your appeal opportunity at the Assessor’s office earlier in the year, or if you did appeal and weren’t satisfied with the result, you have a second opportunity to appeal at the Board of Review. Appealing your home’s 2021 assessed value is the only way to achieve property tax relief on your second installment property tax bill in July 2022, other than selling your home or claiming a new exemption.
